Sailors who are interested in earning ASA Basic Keelboat Certification and believe they already have the skills covered in ASA 101 may “challenge” – or test out of – the course. This challenge is a three hour session that includes a short on the water test and a written test. Students who pass this course may continue on to Coastal Cruising (ASA 103)
A 3-hour test scheduled at your convenience at Pier 25 in Tribeca.
